RMT Press Office:
MTR Elizabeth Line and Rail for London Infrastructure (RFLI) workers are taking strike action today in disputes over pay, working conditions, and safety concerns.
Control Room staff at MTR Elizabeth Line will strike from 9:00 PM on December 31, 2024, to 8:59 PM on January 1, 2025, after rejecting the latest pay offer.
The union is demanding improved holiday entitlements and reductions in working hours.
RFLI staff will strike from 6:00 AM on December 31, 2024, to 5:59 AM on January 1, 2025, citing issues including unsafe rostering, pay progression delays, and safety concerns.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “These disputes highlight the refusal of employers to address legitimate concerns about pay, working hours, and safety. Our members are standing firm for fair treatment, and the companies must come to the table with serious offers to resolve these issues.”
